When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, many ...

Namba Protonic NanoMachine Project studied the structure and function of the bacterial flagellum as a huge molecular system based on the organization and movement of the individual atoms that build it ...

SOME cilia and flagella beat in a complex three-dimensional manner, and, in addition, the angular velocity at the tip is greater than at the base. Presumably the bundle of fibrils which make up a ...

Each of the underlying single-celled parasites—Trypanosoma brucei and its relatives—has one flagellum, a whiplike appendage ...

Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella. Now it is known that they contain primary cilia ...

Each of the underlying single-celled parasites — Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) and its relatives — has one flagellum, a whiplike appendage that is essential for moving, infecting hosts and surviving ...
